Shioyasu Kobo - Used Wajima-nuri Nagara River Maki-e Vase with Flower Stand There are faint, barely noticeable marks, like thin lines. They are about 2 cm long, slight scratches that aren't deep enough to be considered damage to the lacquerware. They don't show up in photos, no matter how many times I try, but there are about three of them if you look closely. Also, it's not as shiny as a new item. Please understand that this is a used item. The original price seems to have been around 20,000 yen. The box is old and the corners are lifting due to dryness. Shioyasu Lacquerware Workshop I believe this is a product from a workshop designated as a National Intangible Cultural Property.
